Nearby was the Roman settlement of
Canovium at Caerhun, and was the site of a Roman river-crossing
point of the River Conwy.
The mediæval ferry, which operated from 1301, was replaced by a
steel bridge of rivetted plates and angles on piers of concrete and
masonry in 1897. The present bridge dates from 1977-8 as the
original got seriously rusty. The pre-fabricated steel sections are
hot-dip galvanised for protection against corrosion, and no part is
too heavy for two men to carry. The piers of the old bridge were in
perfect condition, and it was a stipulation that the footway be
available for use at all times during reconstruction. It was
therefore decided to adopt an unusual installation method, whereby
the new bridge was assembled through and around the old
bridge.
Once completed, the new bridge was lowered onto the piers by
cutting away piece-by-piece the old bridge. The bridge also carries
water in a pipe from Llyn Dulyn and Llyn Melynllyn in the Carneddau
mountains to the coastal town of Llandudno.
